DNS records and project connection

Live

Manage DNS records and connect domains to projects or other runtime surfaces.

Goal

Get from owning a domain to routing it where you actually need it.

Current status

Live

This area is documented as current, user-reliable behavior.

Workflow

  1. 1Open the domain and inspect DNS controls.
  2. 2Add or review the records required for the target service.
  3. 3Use the project connection surface when the domain is meant for an application deployment.

DNS management behavior

  • Nameservers are editable separately from individual records.
  • The UI distinguishes system-managed records from user-managed records.
  • DNS changes are immediate in the control plane, but propagation still depends on registrar and DNS timing.

Connecting a domain to a project

  • Only active registered domains are available for project attachment.
  • You can attach the apex domain or provide a subdomain like api or www.
  • Primary-domain selection is part of the connection flow.

Expected result

The domain is configured to point at the intended StackShift-managed resource.
